Our role includes assessing patients before any operation and looking after you during and immediately after surgery.
Before your operation you’ll be screened, have any diagnostic investigations you need, and we can speak to you about your surgery and anaesthetic. This may involve:

General anaesthesia

Regional anaesthesia (such as epidural or spinal)

Local anaesthesia (for example for eye surgery) and
sedation.

We’re involved with all types of surgery, for patients of all ages. We also provide:

appropriate anaesthesia for the type of surgery, in the operating theatre
